The Oyo State Government, on Monday, evacuated 359 illegal structures and shanties shielding its public primary and secondary school premises within Ibadan, the state capital.
The eviction notices were issued to owners of the illegal shops, shanties, and structures through the principals and heads of the affected schools.
The State Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, Abdulmojeed Mogbonjubola, who monitored the exercise, reiterated the government’s commitment to bring sanity to school premises in the state.
“We would not rest on our oars until sanity is maintained. Every student stands to learn better and maximize his or her potential, only if the learning environment is favorable. The present administration of the state Governor, Seyi Makinde, will never look away from this reality. We warn owners of the illegal shanties against further occupation of the school premises to avoid facing the wrath of the state Environmental Laws,” he said.
